That, as far as my knowladge goes, is incorrect. they never said that there will be no agents, all that was said that there will be a whole new system to operate them, and they would not be seen on the world map like before.

I like the idea of a kind of partial fog of war. You should know what nation owns which area. But you don't have to know their army movements.
You should know where in the area the city is, but you need not know where are the city's armies........travelling merchants, locals etc etc, you could get information from them in those days couldn't you......I mean, had Napoleon not know where Moscow was until he actually reached the city........well.....
